Date: November 3, 2025
Hosts: James "Deebo" Harrison & Joe Haden
Episode Overview
In this episode, NFL veterans James "Deebo" Harrison and Joe Haden break down a dramatic NFL weekend, highlighted by a gritty Steelers win over the Colts, the Bengals’ late collapse against the Bears, and key injuries shaking up the league. They offer candid player-level analysis, passionate criticisms, and ballplayer banter — all with that signature mix of insight and locker room humor.
Steelers vs. Colts: Defense Dominates (01:38–33:52)
Opening Vibes & Coin Toss Mindset
- Deebo and Joe revel in the Steelers’ attitude, starting strong by choosing to receive the opening kickoff — a “disrespectful” and confident move.
- Quote:
"We jumped on somebody's neck...We won the toss, and we said we want the ball. You know what that mean? That mean we about to run this ball down your throat or we go down here and score. That's the most disrespectful thing you could do in a coin toss." – Deebo (02:08)
- Both laugh as the opening drive flops — “We don't do a damn thing!” but praise the aggressive intent.
Early Defensive Miscues & Adjustments
- Detailed critique of the Steelers’ DB play, notably Joy Porter Jr.'s (Lil Peasy) technique on early completions and PIs.
- Joe, as a former corner, explains coverages and where technique broke down, emphasizing the need to use feet, not hands.
"You're in the right position, you're in the spot. Just don't use that, dance with them. Use your feet and get under and try to undercut some of these routes." – Joe Haden (09:08)
- Deebo, in player-coach mode, calls Porter out with tough love:
“Nephew, I'm telling you this because I love you, man. Rely on what it is you have. You gifted, man. You got speed and you got length.” (09:53)
Game-Changing Turnovers and Defense Comes Alive
- Special teams mishap by the Colts sparks a Steelers possession. Deebo is skeptical about going for it on 4th down, preferring to get points, but both agree a dropped ball cost them:
“Get your head around...the ball hit him right in between the numbers...Leaving that with zero. That sucked.” – Joe (06:45)
- T.J. Watt’s critical sack-fumble and the Steelers’ opportunistic defense praised.
“Only thing he could have did more was pick it up, get up off the ground and school, take it in for the touchdown.” – Deebo (10:33)
- Steelers offense cashes in on turnovers, including a well-executed “tush push” and Jaylen Warren TD.
Momentum, Playmaking, and Defensive Physicality
- Joe and Deebo break down key moments:
- P Dub’s interception and return
- Washington's impact as a “weapons-grade” tight end, both blocking and catching (16:04–16:25)
- Hard-nosed play up front (“every man whoop a man”')
Halftime and Second Half Defensive Themes
- Run defense lauded: "That's still a defense. That's what we're accustomed to seeing...that they talk about..." – Deebo (14:33)
- Standout moments: Peasy’s sack after pushing a man out of bounds (15:09–15:41)
- Red zone stands; holding the Colts to field goals despite PIs and chunk gains.
Late Game Drama: Turnovers and Close Calls
- Steelers’ wild fumble risks late, Wilson’s ill-advised leap drawing ire:
“What in your right mind told you that was a great move to make? ... you don't just land on you...You're gonna just land on your head.” – Deebo (28:04)
- Joe: “Wilson's wilding. You're not supposed to jump. Just—” (28:48)
- Nephew (Joy Porter Jr.) redeems himself with a game-clinching interception (29:10)
- O-line/running game issues noted: “Jaylen running for 16 carries for 31 yards and my man Gain Well had three for minus one. That's not good.” – Joe (64:05)
Defense Wins the Day Despite Offensive Woes
- Steelers outgained in nearly all offensive stats but win thanks to six turnovers and stubborn red zone D.
- Deebo sets the standard:
“We gotta go out there and do this week in and week out. A broke clock is right once a day...Show me who the real Steeler defense is.” (33:32)
- Joe: “The run defense did everything we expected. We said, every man whoop a man...Because the Colts never got to really start ahead of the sticks.” (34:10)
